Re: Screen Resolution

["Shannon ODonnell" <sodonnell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What are you using for your development tool?

If it's VB 6 or VB.Net/VB2005, you can access api's to retrieve the current
video resolution and other api's to resize all the controls and everything
when someone changes resolution.

Also, along those same lines, you can change the user's video resolution at
the time your application runs, and then when they close it, change it back
to 800 x 600.   

Let me know if you want the VB6 code to do this.

Hi,
 
Our team has recently started developing our UI in a non-green screen
(System i) environment to a Windows environment.  We started with VARPG,
though now we're looking at a browser UI.  Anyway, we've been developing
for 1024x768, and that's been great for some departments.  However, now
we're deploying some apps to other departments and we're seeing a lot of
resistance as they were at 800x600.
 
Has anyone gone through this?  If so, what did you do about it?
Magnifier?  Larger monitor?  Change from CRT to LCD monitor?  Change
development to 800x600?  Other?
 
I appreciate your input,
